While the film looks like a deadly game of hide-and-seek on the surface, we peel back the layers to reveal a biting critique of capitalism and patriarchy, wealth inequality, and the systemic harm that mirrors our real world.Rebecca shares powerful insights on systemic oppression, how we become complicit in harmful social structures, why "women often betray themselves" to fit in, and what it truly looks like to choose social transformation over toxic tradition. Whether you’re a fan of horror movies, interested in film theory, or a student of religious and cultural deconstruction, this social justice discussion will change how you look at the systems we inhabit.🔥 "Burn it all down."
